How to add more ROMs to MAME on X-Arcade
New game ROMs can be put in the "PUT MAME ROMS HERE!" folder found on your desktop (do not extract the .zip files).
If you add new ROM files to the roms folder, you will need to tell Maximus Arcade to Refresh the Game List. To do this,
- Open Preferences (Use the keyboard's RIGHT-SIDE CONTROL KEY (NOT LEFT) CONTROL+P while in the front end, or the Preferences link found at
C:\MAX 2.10\Frontend
). - Choose the Configuration tab.
- Next to "Configuration for" choose the emulator you want to look for new roms in (example MAME) from the drop-down list.
- Next click on the "Scan" tab at the bottom, and put a check next to "Force rescan of media folder".
- Close preferences. Your screen may be blank for a few minutes while it is updating.
If your ROMs don't appear or don't work see our ROMS help page.
